Chapter 231: Time Flies So Fast
The starting point of the Grand Line—Twin Cape.
To speed things up, the Dream Exploration Team had spent over a month traveling through the second route before returning here.
"Crocus isn't here? Don't tell me he got into trouble in the Florian Triangle..." Ryuen muttered, surprised as he looked at the empty house beneath the lighthouse.
"It's very possible. That place is a Warlord's territory, after all," Nojiko agreed, thinking Crocus might have run into some trouble.
"Who's Crocus?" Robin asked, a bit confused.
"Hm..."
"Crocus was the doctor of the Roger Pirates. He's also the lighthouse keeper here," Nojiko explained.
"He was the Pirate King's doctor? That's so cool!" Sugar said, clearly impressed.
Robin was also surprised. Only Reina, the little one, didn't seem to care—she had no real impression of the Pirate King.
"So, should we go rescue him?" Sugar asked.
"No need. We only had a simple deal before. We're not that close," Ryuen said casually.
